 This week, we took a drive to Letcher County to take a ride along the Little Shepherd Trail. The trail begins off US-119 at the top of Pine Mountain near Whitesburg. The section we've traveled on is nearly 14 miles long and will take you to Kingdom Cum State Park in Harlan County. The road is narrow but paved and takes you along the crest of Pine Mountain. While we weren't able to see any, black bears are known to be seen frequently along the Little Shepherd. The road twists and turns along the top of the ridge, taking you through dense forests. Rocky outcrops, known as hogbacks, protrude from the ridges and rhododendron and mountain laurel blanket a large majority of the forest. Admire the views but be cautious, there are no guardrails along the Little Shepherd and there are quite a few steep drop-offs adjacent to the road. As you approach Kingdom Cum State Park, you will come to a series of overlooks that offer stunning mountain-top views of eastern Kentucky. While most of our outdoor adventures have required strenuous hiking and paddling, the Little Shepherd Trail can be enjoyed by everyone. Each overlook features easy access and the drive down the trail itself is quite relaxing. Take your time and enjoy what is possibly the most scenic 14 miles of roadway in eastern Kentucky.
